It’s only fitting that corruption pays off in a town that was bankrolled by the mob…
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small is, to put it gently, in legal hot water. Facing criminal charges related to child abuse and witness tampering, Small is heading toward a July 2025 trial in a courtroom rather than a campaign trail.
And yet, none of that seemed to matter to Democratic primary voters in Atlantic City, according to WPUR.
In what might be the most on-brand moment for Atlantic City politics, Small not only won his primary — he cruised.
The report says that he beat challenger Bob McDevitt by over 1,000 votes (2,683 to 1,580 at last count), Small proved that being under indictment is apparently not a dealbreaker in local elections. If anything, it might just be a résumé booster.
